First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos Visits Filipino Workers in Riyadh

First lady Liza Araneta-Marcos expressed her excitement to meet the Filipino community in Saudi Arabia during her working visit to Riyadh. She aims to share stories, smiles, and a sense of home with the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

Arriving at King Khalid International Airport on July 18, 2025, Araneta-Marcos plans to highlight the Marcos administration's dedication to supporting OFWs and their families. She will visit the OFW and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Serbisyo Caravan to provide services such as legal aid and welfare counseling.

Additionally, she will visit shelters for distressed Filipino women, workers, and children in Riyadh. The trip underscores the administration's commitment to OFWs' welfare and families.

Araneta-Marcos is expected to return to Manila on July 21, following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s trip to Washington, D.C. She will not accompany the President due to controversies surrounding a police report on the death of businessman Paolo Tantoco in Los Angeles.
